One of my editors commented recently -- after being informed, not for the first time, that I actually know nothing about the subject he pays me to write about every day -- that he thinks the fullest realization of being a working adult is being able to fake it, all day, every day. Fake your knowledge of particular subjects and about everything in general, and to do it convincingly enough that everyone else still feels comfortable leaving you to run the ship. I think I love this theory. Do you think it's true, though? Do all those seemingly competant people really not have a clue?
This made me proud.
This is making me excited about cooking, specifically about making fruit salad this weekend.
This, which I saw with A and T this weekend, was great.
This had me nodding at my computer screen at work.
This had me laughing out loud on the train. Once I was so shocked and pleased and "woh, so true" about something she'd written that I instinctually covered my mouth with my hand. The woman in the next seat looked at me as though I was contagious.

I think it's not only true at work (heh. like I really know that much about the community I cover every day), but in daily life, as well. Especially since I'm going through a parenting crisis of my own these days. I'm convinced those moms you see who look like they have it all together and know all the answers and have perfectly well-behaved children...are faking it. At least, that's what I tell myself so I feel better at night.
